Banjos, BBQ and The Ruckus

The three things we love most at Scene SC are BBQ, banjos and Waffle House. Everyone says we don’t cover any music that doesn’t have either an acoustic guitar, a banjo or a female vocalist. We are just that uptight.

So naturally BanjoBQue is one of our favorite festivals with some of our favorite bands. What could possibly be better than sitting outside memorial day weekend, listening to Old Crow Medicine Show and Frontier Ruckus with the sweet smell of slow roasting pork wafting through the late spring air of North Augusta?

This years bands include Doc Watson, Old Crow Medicine Show, John Popper, Frontier Ruckus, The Whiskey Gentry and more.

I don’t think we would miss this for the world.

Tickets are available here and are only $30 for a weekend pass. Make it happen, you’ll have a swine of a time.
